All of our critiques of this man's work are irrelevant. He is an established genuis and will always be remembered as a legend with a multiplicty of talents.
Paul Robeson is truly a unheralded genius of an artist. I wish I had the privilege to sit and watch this great man. He fills me up with ever more pride as a black man. God Bless him!!!
We live in a culture that does everything possible to maintain the status quo, to keep us from questioning circumcision, from talking about what it really is. Even a brief mention of it is often censored.
That would 'splain it! I can't tell you how comforting it is to know. That we live in a culture that impeaches a President for lying to Congress about having sex; but doesn't impeach a President for lying to Congress about his justification for war.
When I was a kid. I was is London and I could see a public movie with nudity, but I couldn't see a Clint Eastwood movie (because of the violence). ...and American's wonder why many Europeans think we are uncivilized. lol
It was my understanding we're all the product of... friction.
@Bonobo3D He also replaced "lov'd not wisely, but too well" with "lov'd full wisely but too well" (which Shakespeare didn't write, and which changes the meaning entirely).
"......and his human dignity was betrayed"
hmmmm, that sounds awfully familiar. Paul Robeson's life in the public eye anyone?

I liked it, but he got too rythmic about it.

Curious that "the circumcised dog" was replaced with "that damnded (?) heathen dog.

I was wondering about that too.

I've checked three sources and they all agree on "the circumcised dog".
